InauguralMotion & Control Industry Awards
The organising team behind the inaugural Motion & Control Industry Awards has announced that the ‘Call for Nominations’ will open in August. Brought to market by Touchwave Media in association with DFA Media, the publisher of leading industry journals Hydraulics & Pneumatics, Drive & Controls and Plant & Works Engineering, the awards programme will, for the first time, acknowledge and celebrate business and professional excellence across the entire motion and control industry.
Covering the achievements of companies and their people in the key areas of manufacture and supply including, innovation and achievement, energy saving, sales growth, customer care and employee motivation, the awards will comprise nine main categories:
Technical Innovation of the Year.
Environmental/Energy Efficiency.
Project of the Year.
System Integrator of the Year.
Manufacturer of the Year.
Distributor of the Year.
Training Initiative of the Year.
Young Engineer of the Year.
Lifetime Achievement Award.
The deadline for all entries and nominations is Friday 2December 2011, so, if you work for, or know of a company, individual, product or application that is worthy of recognition for outstanding achievements, the MCI Awards would like to hear from you. The judging panel will convene in late December to review all the entries and select the finalists in each category. All finalists will then be promoted within the trade press throughout January, February and March, and, via the dedicated awards website, readers will be invited to vote for which entry they believe should be the outright winner in each case.

The culmination of this sector-wide awards programme is of course the Gala Awards Ceremony, which will take place on the evening of 17 April 2012 at the St Johns Hotel in Solihull. This prestigious event will correspond with the first day of the MACH, Drives & Controls, Air-tech, Plant & Asset Management and International Fluid Power Exhibitions, being held at the NEC from 17 to 19April, and so is ideally timed to provide a night of reward and recognition for this important business sector.
